NARRATIVE TEXT
On hot day, a thirsty crow flew
over field looking for water. For long time, she could not find any. She felt
very exhausted, almost giving up. Suddenly, she saw a water jug below her, she
flew straight down to see if there was any water inside. It was a surprise
because there was some water inside the jug.
The crow tried to push her head
into the jug. Sadly, she found that the neck of the jug was too narrow. Then,
she tried to push the jug down for the water to flow out but she found that the
jug was too heavy.
The crow thought hard for a
while. Then looking around her, she saw some pebbles. She suddenly had a good
idea. She started picking up the pebbles one by one, dropping each into the
jug. As more and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level kept rising. Soon
it was high enough for the crow to drink “It’s working !” she said.

EXPLANATION TEXT
Tsunami
The term of ³tsunami´ comes from the Japanese which means harbour
("tsu") and wave("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves
generated when water in a lake or the sea israpidly displaced on a massive
scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the
sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces theoverlying water. Such large
vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries. Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating
tsunamis, and occur wheredenser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.As
the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its
equilibrium, itradiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage.
Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the
initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods
powerfullyinto the coastal area.

DISCUSSION
TEXT
Giving
Children Homework; Pro
and Con
There are a lot of discussion as to whether children should
be given homework or not. Is it enough for children having time to study at
school or needing additional time in home for study after school time?
Some people claim that children do enough work in school
already. They also argue that children have their hobbies which they want to do
after school, such as sport or music. A further point they make is that a lot
of homeworks are pointless and does not help the children learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point
of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out whether
children can work on their own without the support from the teacher. They say
that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what
they have learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to
get anything done. It makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading
or further writing task which do not need the teacher support.
I think, on balance, that some homework is good idea but
that should only given at the weekend when children have more time.

REVIEW TEXT
2012
2012 is Roland Emmerich's
film which uses the Mayan calendar and other end-of-days prophecies for their
doomsday scenario. It imagines the world coming to an end in 2012.
2012
film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It
starts when Cusack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeways
and skyscrapers crumble all around him from the shock of a 10.5 earthquake. The
preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the
giant ark, when an equipment malfunction almost threatens
the entire mission.
Unfortunately,
the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the requisite clarity. In
2012 film, Emmerich leaves us befuddled as to exactly what is happening to
whom. However, Emmerich' 2012 deserves credit for offbeat casting. Cusack
supplies his trademark hangdog charm. McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever
as Peet's cocky. Danny Glover lends dignity to the role of the tormented
president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief scientist, brings a moving sense of
anguish to a stock role. Platt has fun playing the villain of the piece, and
Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery as a bug-eyed radio prophet trying to
warn his listeners about Armageddon.
All in
one, 2012's cinematography, production design and visual effects are
awards-worthy. Music also propels the movie. It presents American Idol
runner-up, Adam Lambert, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.
